Lynx Head Coach Ryan Petrik welcomed the addition of the versatile Ciabattoni to his squad. “Alex is someone who can do a little bit of everything and with the way the game is going that skillset is really valuable to us.” Petrik also hinted that Ciabattoni may be used in a different role to where she has previously been deployed. “We know Chibba’s game really well and we’re confident that she has the ability to be a real weapon for us this season.” For her part Ciabattoni is ecstatic to be returning to Perth, a place she calls a second home. “I love Perth and I see myself building a long-term future in the Western Australia. The culture being built at the Lynx is something that’s really attractive to me and it’s definitely something I want to contribute to.” Alex Ciabattoni joins a Lynx roster for the 2020/21 WNBL that includes Sami Whitcomb, Katie Ebzery and Darcee Garbin.
